PERIOD OF VENGEANCE

Chapter 1

At Hot Sip show, Percy and Zandile are there with their writer Ashley. Percy Zulu and Zandile Zulu are decedents of Bhekifa Zulu who was a respected and resourceful man. He worked hard for his family and owned a publishing company called, Black Ink. It is the biggest publishing company in their town. Upon his death he left his business to his two sons, Percy and Andile, and his daughter Zandile. They are on the show to promote their best-selling book called Darkness. Journalist Kabelo is the one hosting the show. They are seated. 'So, Ashley what inspired you to write Darkness? as it is in everyone's mouth especially to young people' says Kabelo. 'To be honest KB, this book is my way of letting people to get to know the real me. I wrote about the most painful time in my life which is my childhood. My life and everything that I have now, made to look back' says Ashley. 'Would you say this is your way of inspiring young people who are in your position right now not to give up and work hard?' says Kabelo. 'Yes, not only that but to let them see that behind every great person there is a story' says Ashley. 'Those are very encouraging words Ashley, thank you. Mr Zulu there are rumours that your company has been donating a lot of money to orphanages and NGO's helping young children and the disabled, so since you are here, tell us more about this' says Kabelo. ' Our father was a very generous man KB, and he loved helping children, so we decided to continue doing it to honour him and to help the children, we let the people write to us and tell us about that orphanage and NGO and then we select 5 we are going to help, we do this every year, so if there is anyone who know an orphanage who needs our help or NGO's who needs the funds, they must write to us on our social media page so we can help' says Percy. 'Mr Zulu that is a very good thing you are doing for children, and we are very grateful as a nation, now let see what the viewers at home have to say' says Kabelo. Kabelo read the comments on the tablet he is carrying.  'The Zulu's are really good people they donated to an orphanage close to my place' says Kabelo reading the first comment. 'We have not forgotten about your father's business partner who disappeared and was later found dead, and the maid too, to me it seems like everyone who get close to your family ends up dead, I would not be surprised if Ashely disappears next' says Kabelo reading the comment. 'Whoa this will be the last comment we will be reading today' says Kabelo. 'Shit' says Andile closing the tablet. 'It is not that bad at least KB stopped reading the comments in time' says Tshego. 'He was not supposed to read that comment in the first place' says Andile. 'He is just doing his job uncle' says Lwazi. 'This is bad publicity; this will affect the sales of the book' says Andile pacing up and down in the big board room of Blank Ink. 'Calm down uncle, Lwazi check what the people are saying' says Tshego. Lwazi open the tablet and read the comments of people under the interview, 'Uncle people are talking about the book nobody is talking about that stupid comment' says Lwazi showing Andile the comments. 'That is really good, anyway what did you say you wanted to talk about again?' ask Andile sitting on one of the chairs. 'We wanted to ask if there is a designer you know that you can give us her or his number, Lwazi needs help, he cannot meet deadlines alone' says Tshego. 'There is someone I know; you know what let me talk to her first then I will tell you what she said' says Andile. 'Alright we will hear from you' says Lwazi. They stand up and go. Lwazi and Tshego are the sons of Zandile Zulu, when they finished their studies in the University, they did not want to join the family business. They decided to start a design company, their business is doing pretty great right now. 

In a fancy building in town, the people inside are talking. 'So how is everything going for tomorrow?' ask Lunch Bar. 'Well, everything seems to be going according to plan' says Top deck. 'What about them? they have been in that office for long, when do you think they will come out?' ask Lunch Bar. 'I don't know, they are stressed out, tomorrow is a big day, I am sure they are scared that things will not go according to plan' says Top deck. 'Yes, they have invested so much in this to not be successful' says Lunch Bar. Noah and Njabulo get out of the office and come to sit with them. 'Are you guys alright?' ask Top deck. 'I will be fine tomorrow when I see that all of our hard work is paying off' says Njabulo. 'It will, and if it does not work, we move to plan B' says Noah.
